Steve Guttenberg cover this in the May, 2014 Stereophile in As We See It. What he said made perfect sense to me.

I have 2 pair of somewhat vintage speakers: AR-58's with 12"s, a pair of large Advents with 10"s, both refurbished, and a pair of bookshelf Triangle Comete's.

I do tend to listen to more chamber music on my Triangles and more jazz and rock on the others. The Triangles are good to 50hz, but give me more detail with better recordings that offer it. Poorly recorded music don't fair well on the Triangles, but if I really wanted to listen to it I might go the the Advents which don't reveal as much, but I still like them.

Mood has more to do with the music I pick to listen to than my gear. I listen to all of it on my AR's. They are my main speakers. Different and better are often elusive things, at least to me. I am nearly 67 and my hearing is not what it used to be.
